  This lead me to wondering: Do the Fahrenheit people talk about sub-zero as well?!

  I had never thought of that possibility. 0 degrees is just generally cold, but -17,778 degrees is already in the area of “seriously cold”.

    I think they’re making a Kelvin joke.

    Well. Sub-zero is a range. 0K, or absolute zero, is sub 0°C. So sub zero can be equal to absolute zero in one instance of the range.

  What about relative zero?

    relative zero is an even number! There I said it, and I don’t care what any of you think of me.
